Back to Earth with a Splosh!

Hi Woofers!

Champions here, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Well what a weekend we have had and it didn't really end until yesterday when we saw the prezzie OTL and us got from Lucy Babe and Marianne (her Mum). Now we are not sure of the technical description but it is the Doggies Doo Dars!

There's a picture of Old Two Legs with Holly and Me sitting next to him, it shows his knobbly knees and his Sand Boots as well!

It has at least five layers of Stamping, all hand painted and cut out so it all looks real!

The Missus says it is Decoupage and it certainly looks a really skilled bit of work!

OTL says he is going to take a picture of it tomorrow and then I can put it on tomorrows blog.

We have decided that we are going to hang the whole thing up on the wall next to his chair in the lounge, so we can see it when we're sitting next to him tasting his shortbread!

Big BIG Thanks Marianne and we'll get Lucy to give you a big lick for us!

Now, The Missus reckons that it was a birthday present for her but we
reckon she has had enough presents this year, so this is OURS!

We were really tired this morning and the mucking about with the clocks didn't help, even TM was an hour late getting up!

OTL picked up the wrong camera, so it's all B&W today!

The sun was up and warming the beach before we got there but it stayed long enough to show off it's reflection in the sea!

Reflections

The ferrets had a super time 'Ferreting About' in the new growth of wild flowers, or as OTL calls them, Weeds!

It was good to see them rolling around in the sniffs again 'cos they weren't allowed to do that on Saturday because of the show!

Nothing like a good ferret!

Back home OTL was working on the computer, something about the VAT quarter, what ever that is!

Mind yo, we kept an eye on the clock and at the stroke of One, we started with the 'Hairy Eyeball'!

First it was Holly!

It seems he didn't see Holly, or was pretending not to see her, so, I gave him the 'Seriously Hairy Eyeball'!

Ignore this if you can!

It worked!

Down on the beach Holly was going potty running up and down the sand, finally she decided to dig a hole, well, she pinched my hole while I was having a rest in the mud!

A Holly Hole!

As I said, I got sort of Exhausted and just had to have a lay down, in the mud!

OTL called me a Mucky Puppy and I got washed when we got home, so now I sniff like a Tarts Handbag, or so OTL says!

On top of The Hill we met up with The Lads and had a chat about the sniffs. All of them reckon I was sniffing super in my mud boots!

Hello Lads!

Tonight we have got Auntie Jane and Uncle Ian coming over, so we're off to prepare for some serious mugging tonight!

Glad you all got a bit extra time in bed this morning, it was a busy weekend for all. I saw that picture at the weekend and it seriously is the dog's do dars. Is OTL also going to take a photo of the birthday card Marianne gave her, the one with TM and friends in their cosies. Loved the pictures today, cheeky Holly pinching your hole but your mud boots looked good. Glad the ferrets were able to have a good roll around, did they get washed when they got home and do they sniff like a tarts handbag? The only VAT I can think of at the moment is the one that comes in a glass and you buy it in a pub. Anyway,good to see you all had a good day back together again. Happy muggings tonight. Love, licks and wags from little Arch xxxx

That present sounds marvellous, you do have some very clever friends, looking forward to seeing it. What a weekend you had and now it is over you can let your hair down and have a good scrummage around even it is means getting muddy boots. Fancy OTL describing your smell as a tarts handbag, I wonder how he knows, I do wonder about him sometimes!! x Hope you had some lovely muggings this evening, I am sure that at least Auntie Jane and Uncle Ian will fall to your charms even if OTL and TM turn a blind eye to your beautiful faces. Nite nite "Champions Galore"

Morning Daisy, Holly and OTL.... I am so very pleased that my gift went down well I was worried in case you didn't like being put into a frame for all to see..... I tried to be as true as I could to what I see you write and show us in your fabulous Blog. Lucy's magic medicine seems to be working fingers, toes and paws crossed this end..... Can't wait to see your wonderful photo's of the picture and card in your blog later..... Well that's it for me as off to work I must go..... Have a wonderful day and enjoy some more adventures with OTL and TM.... Lots of Love from little Lucy and Crew, Steve and Me xxx

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
